Hilaria Baldwin
American Businesswoman
Of course everybody is different, but if you're having a strong, healthy pregnancy, there's not a lot you can do to hurt it. That being said, we should do as right as we can by our children, but we just need to be a little more forgiving of ourselves and not so much perfectionists because it's hard enough as it is.
Quote examples
Katha Pollitt
American Poet
We have an idea that the man should help pay for the child. But we don't have a law that says a man has to support any woman he gets pregnant. Why is that? Because she doesn't have the baby yet. But if we're going to say it's a human being, then he should be supporting her during pregnancy.
Quote examples
Kate Middleton
English Royalty
